Financial year 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027

Tricorder Care Services Limited is committed to acting ethically, responsibly and transparently and to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking within our organisation and supply chains.

This statement applies to the financial year from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 and describes the measures we have in place, and the further steps we are taking, to identify and manage the risk of modern slavery.

Tricorder Care Services Limited is a small and medium-sized enterprise with annual turnover below the £36 million threshold at which a commercial organisation is ordinarily required to publish a statement under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We have nevertheless chosen to publish this statement voluntarily because we recognise our responsibilities as an employer, healthcare provider and supplier of services to the NHS and other public-sector organisations.

Our organisation and supply chains

Tricorder Care Services Limited is an independent ambulance provider delivering non-emergency patient transport, high-dependency transfers, secure and non-secure mental health transport, specialist bariatric transport and other commissioned ambulance services.

Our workforce includes clinical and non-clinical ambulance personnel, control and operational staff, managers and administrative teams. Services are primarily delivered by our own workforce, supported where necessary by approved agency workers and subcontractors.

Our principal supply chains include ambulance vehicles and components, medical equipment and consumables, uniforms and personal protective equipment, medicines and pharmacy services, information technology, communications systems, cleaning services, recruitment agencies, training providers and professional services.

Although our services are primarily delivered within the UK, we recognise that UK-based operations are not free from modern slavery risks. Potential risks may arise through agency labour, overseas recruitment, subcontracting and the international supply chains used to manufacture uniforms, medical products, electronics and vehicle components.

Our approach

We maintain a Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy supported by our safeguarding, recruitment, procurement, whistleblowing, Freedom to Speak Up, equality, incident-reporting and governance arrangements.

Our recruitment processes include appropriate identity, right-to-work, employment history, reference and Disclosure and Barring Service checks. We do not charge recruitment fees to workers, retain passports or identity documents, make unlawful deductions from wages or knowingly permit arrangements intended to control or exploit a worker.

Agency and temporary workers are engaged through approved providers. We expect recruitment agencies, suppliers and subcontractors to comply with all modern slavery, employment and human rights legislation applicable to them.

Supplier due diligence is applied proportionately according to the nature of the goods or services, the structure and location of the supply chain, the use of agency or migrant labour and any other identified risk factors. Higher-risk suppliers may be required to provide further information about their recruitment, employment and supply-chain controls.

Where appropriate, our contractual arrangements require suppliers and subcontractors to comply with applicable modern slavery legislation, notify us of relevant concerns, cooperate with enquiries and take corrective action where deficiencies are identified.

Training and reporting concerns

Relevant staff receive safeguarding and modern slavery awareness through induction, refresher training and internal communications. Staff involved in recruitment, procurement, management and safeguarding receive information appropriate to their responsibilities.

Staff are expected to remain alert to indicators of exploitation and to report concerns promptly through line management, Human Resources, safeguarding, incident-reporting, Freedom to Speak Up or whistleblowing arrangements. Concerns are handled sensitively and information is shared only where necessary and lawful. No person will suffer detrimental treatment for raising a genuine concern or making a protected disclosure.

Where a potential victim is identified, their immediate safety and welfare will be prioritised. Appropriate referrals will be made to the police, local authority safeguarding services or another authorised agency. Staff are instructed not to investigate suspected modern slavery themselves or confront a person suspected of exploitation.

Monitoring our effectiveness

During 2026/27, we will monitor the effectiveness of our arrangements through:

• completion of relevant staff training.
• proportionate due diligence on new suppliers.
• review of suppliers and contracts presenting a heightened risk.
• recruitment and agency-worker assurance checks.
• monitoring of concerns, referrals and corrective actions; and
• review of relevant NHS, government procurement and Home Office guidance.

We will continue to strengthen our supplier due diligence, contractual controls, staff awareness and recording of modern slavery risks. Lessons arising from concerns, safeguarding referrals, audits, supplier reviews or commissioner feedback will be used to improve our arrangements.

This statement takes account of the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, the NHS Standard Contract, the Procurement Act 2023, PPN 009: Tackling Modern Slavery in Government Supply Chains, and NHS requirements relating to slavery and human trafficking in procurement.
